About the John Deere 7000 Planter

The John Deere 7000 was one of the most significant row crop planters of the late 20th century, introduced in 1971 and produced in various configurations through the 1980s. It was the planter that brought John Deere's finger-pickup seed metering technology to wide-scale adoption — a departure from the cell-type seed disc systems used on earlier planters. The finger pickup mechanism used rubber fingers that picked up individual seeds regardless of shape or size variation, eliminating the need to precisely match seed plates to seed lots and dramatically reducing skips and doubles compared to cell-type systems. The 7000 was also among the first planters to be widely offered in large folding configurations — the 12-row wide, 16-row, and 18-row fold-up frames covered in this manual — which allowed operators to plant wider swaths per pass while still meeting highway transport width restrictions. The folding frame, hydraulic markers, and control console made the 7000 a genuinely high-productivity machine for its era. The 7000 supported an extensive attachment lineup including liquid and dry fertilizer, insecticide, herbicide, and row-cleaner systems. Many 7000s remain in active service on smaller operations today, and the 250-page depth of this manual reflects the genuine complexity of setting up and maintaining a large folding planter correctly.

What This Manual Covers

This 250-page manual covers all three folding configurations across every operational and service aspect of the 7000 planter, with separate documentation where procedures differ by row count or frame type. Key sections include:

  • Safety — John Deere's original safety requirements for large folding planter operation, transport, and field use
  • Preparing for Use — pre-season setup, inspection, and preparation procedures
  • Attaching to Tractor — hitch setup, hydraulic connections, and PTO/marker line connections
  • Control Console — full documentation of the 7000's control console operation, monitor functions, and settings
  • Folding & Unfolding the Planter — step-by-step hydraulic folding and unfolding procedures for safe operation
  • Transporting — transport configuration, road safety, and width compliance procedures
  • Operating the Planter — field operation, row unit setup, depth adjustment, downforce settings, and marker operation
  • Planting Rates — seed population charts and rate adjustment procedures for corn and other row crops
  • Troubleshooting — systematic diagnosis of planting problems, monitor errors, and hydraulic issues
  • Detaching from Tractor — correct disconnection and parking procedures
  • Lubrication — lubrication points and service intervals for a large multi-section folding frame
  • Service — row unit service, finger pickup mechanism service, drive chain and sprocket maintenance
  • Attachments & Attachment Assembly — full documentation of fertilizer, insecticide, herbicide, and other attachment systems
  • Specifications — factory-specification settings, capacities, and dimensions
  • Index — full manual index for rapid field reference

Why This Manual Matters

  • Folding frame operation and safety: Correctly folding and unfolding a 12-row or wider planter requires following the factory sequence precisely — skipping steps or operating the hydraulics in the wrong order can damage the fold joints or create a transport width violation; the step-by-step procedures here are the authoritative reference
  • Finger pickup mechanism service: The 7000's finger pickup metering system requires periodic rubber finger inspection and replacement — the service section documents wear indicators, replacement procedure, and the timing relationship between pickup fingers and seed tube positioning that determines spacing accuracy
  • Control console documentation: The 7000's monitor and control console had more functions than most operators used to from older planters, and the full console documentation is necessary for understanding alarms, population monitoring, and hydraulic marker controls
  • Drive chain and sprocket setup: Population rate changes on the 7000 require drive sprocket changes and chain re-routing — the manual documents the sprocket combinations needed for each target population, which is the information operators lose first when a planter changes hands
  • 250 pages of coverage for a complex machine: A folding 16- or 18-row planter is genuinely complex equipment, and the 250-page depth of this manual reflects that — covering the full machine rather than summarizing it
  • Original factory content: This is the manual John Deere issued to 7000 folding planter owners, carrying manual code OM-A41143

Manual Code: OM-A41143

Very nice! Perfect description and I can see these lasting a good long time!
Style: 12ft Cord (Black), Pattern Name: Single
We recently moved and needed much longer cords for some exercise equipment that requires surge protectors. We looked around and found these available in a variety of lengths. We bought two after measuring to make sure we got the right length, and we are very happy. They are the full length as advertised. Flexible cord with durable plugs and seem very sturdy! Nice, heavy wire covering - nothing flimsy about them! Very pleased with the quality for the price!

Good, Solid Surge Protector From Well-Known Company
Style: 12ft Cord (Black), Pattern Name: Single
This surge protector does exactly what it is supposed to do. The on-off switch feels solid. The long cord is thick, and seems pretty heavy-duty. It's just a good, basic, solid surge protector, made by a good company. There are definitely cheaper, no-name brand surge protectors available, but how often do you buy these things? I figured I may as well spend a few extra dollars and go with a quality company and get a quality product. If for some reason this surge protector stops working, or some of the outlets do, (as happened with the protector this one is replacing,) I will come back and update this review, but I honestly don't believe that will happen with a Tripp Lite product. [...]. On the other hand, if you did not find this review helpful, I’d be interested in hearing why, so that I can attempt to edit it and make it more helpful to both you and others. If you leave a comment on the review, suggesting how it would be more helpful, I promise to respond to your comment, and to attempt to incorporate your suggestion in my review, if it is at all possible for me to do so. My goal is to write reviews that help people, as I have been helped by the reviews others have written. Thanks!

Save time by buying Tripp Lite first
Style: 12ft Cord (Black), Pattern Name: Single
+ UL Listed (safest for your devices) + Long cord for reach + More outlets than most of the same format I tried to get something more tailored to my use and get a surge protector with a longer cable and more outlets, but that one wasn't UL Listed unlike this one is. Do not risk it, only buy UL Listed surge protectors. This one is perfect.

Sturdiest surge protector I've seen
Style: 12ft Cord (Black), Pattern Name: Single
I was very surprised by the quality of this surge protector, especially for the price I payed. Pros: Sturdy construction, and nice color. It's barely visible under my desk. Very tight grip on whatever is plugged in so there is no risk of anything accidentally coming unplugged. Thick gauge cord but surprisingly pliable so it bends easily for hiding and bundling up excess length. Visible and satisfying LED light shows your electronics are protected. Guarantee printed right on the box insuring your electronics in case of a damaging power surge. Cons: Nothing that comes to mind! I would strongly recommend this surge protector to anyone looking to manage lots of plugs for a computer, a large entertainment center or just a group of electronics plugged into the same outlet. I know it seems silly to be so enthusiastic over something as trivial as a surge protector but when it comes to protecting large investments you shouldn't put faith in a $5 bargain power strip. I'm buying Tripp Lite any time I need more outlet space from now on!
